Proud to Be Pregnant

There’s lots to love about pregnancy — that shiny hair, those tiny baby kicks, and, of course, eating for two. But if you could use some more reminders, you’ll be happy to hear why these WTE moms-to-be are proud to be pregnant. Read on to find out how they’re embracing their pregnancies so you can make the most of yours too.

Eating for Two, Too

"I loved watching my husband gain pregnancy weight with me. He said he was doing it on purpose, but really he just couldn't resist eating up my ice cream."
— NicS

Ultra Happy

"I have my ultrasound posted on the fridge and copied in my wallet, and there's one on my computer too. Seeing it always makes me smile."
— ckinlyn

Royal Treatment

"The moment I found out I was pregnant my husband began treating me like I was the Queen of Sheba and made of glass. I ate up every single second of it! He hired a maid and he did the laundry. Even better than all of that — I was always offered dessert."
— mommy2twincesses

Family Affair

"After trying to conceive for two years, the day I was able to tell my husband that our prayers had finally come true was amazing — tied only with my six-year-old telling everyone he met that he's going to be a big brother! He's such a proud and protective big sibling already."

Doting Daddy-to-Be

"I love watching my fiancé turn from a big strong man into a pile of mush when he interacts with our baby-to-be. It seems like whenever he walks into the room, our baby knows he's there and starts kicking away. And when my fiancé touches my belly, our baby always presses against him with his little hands or feet. Seeing the two of them interact like this always brings tears to my eyes."
— Canadian_Momma

Sitting Room Only

Your Little Secret

"I'm not showing yet, so I'm really cherishing the secret and the act of taking care of myself knowing that there are two of us in here now."
— austex99

Grateful Grandparents

"The best part about being pregnant is knowing how happy my mom is. She's adopted and loves the idea of another life being related to her. She cried with joy when she found out I was pregnant. Just seeing how thrilled my mother is inspires me on the days when I feel sick, achy, or tired. I could not be more grateful that I have been so blessed!"
— jfox87

Just for You

"I love the private bond that you share with your baby-to-be. Others may feel the baby kick on the outside, but nobody feels it like you. It's this bond you feel the moment you find out you're pregnant."
— MaryBabyLove
